Description
Palworld mod. Your character keeps working at stations while you browse menus, inventory, map, or alt-tab. Moving stops the work.

meta reason for minimal lines: was hoping to encourage people to attempt to `fix` it themselves, in the age of LLM brute force questions leads forward. I left the latest updated version on my GITLAB, but traffic tells a clear story. I really just need to mirror the updates and not try to meta game a "DIY" movement.
v1.8.6 161 lines code - 2026.08.24
v2.2.0 246 lines code - 2026.09.11
v2.3.1 335 lines code - 2026.09.20

2.0 Major update:
FIX: in-game menu/window/map now fully bypasses "[F] Acquire".
- Queued items (50x same item) keep working after opening any in-game menu/window/map.
- Logging/mining/quarry sites 1/9999 keep working.
NEW: Return to work on queued (50x same item) without Acquire the item. Works in multiplayer
- hold F to swap "[F] Acquire" to "[F] Work"
